Product Overview
Nalgene 2104-0008 Wide Mouth 250mL HDPE Bottle with Screw Closure - New and Unused
Condition
New and unused. The photos show a clean translucent natural HDPE body with the ribbed screw closure installed, cap top embossed NALGENE around a center gate mark and a small molded maker's logo. The interior is clear of residue or staining, the neck threads are sharp and undamaged, and the only marks on the body are the faint vertical mold seams you get on any injection molded lab bottle. In the ruler photo the bottle base sits below the zero end of the ruler, so the scale is not zeroed to the bottle and the capped top reads a little over 5 inches - treat the listed 5.16 inch height as the dimension of record. Bottles are supplied loose with the cap installed and no retail packaging. We hold these in depth, so order the exact count your bench needs.

Product Overview
The Nalgene 2104-0008 is a 250 mL (8 oz) wide mouth laboratory bottle molded in HDPE with a matching ribbed screw closure, the workhorse container for reagents, samples, powders, and anything you would rather scoop than funnel. The mouth runs nearly the full width of the shoulder, so a spatula or gloved fingers go straight in and out. The bottle carries chemical resistance to most acids, bases and alcohols, is suitable for freezer use down to minus 100 degrees C, and seals leakproof with the cap shown in the photos. Overall it measures 5.16 inches tall by 2.4 inches across, small enough for a crowded bench or a freezer box and big enough to hold a real working volume. Also searched as Nalgene 21040008 and as a 250mL wide mouth HDPE bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the cap come with the bottle?
Yes. Every bottle ships with the ribbed screw closure installed, exactly as photographed. The cap top is embossed NALGENE with a molded maker's logo below it.
How cold can I take it?
These are suitable for freezer use down to minus 100 degrees C. HDPE stiffens as it gets colder, so handle chilled bottles gently and let them come back up before you crank the cap hard. Autoclave compatibility is not confirmed for this bottle - verify against the Nalgene datasheet before you steam sterilize.
What can I safely store in it?
Chemical resistance covers most acids, bases and alcohols, and the closure seals leakproof. Most is not all, so check your specific chemical against Nalgene's compatibility chart before filling, particularly for aggressive solvents and anything you plan to leave sitting for months.
How wide is the opening, and will my other caps fit?
This is the wide mouth version, so the threaded neck runs nearly the full diameter of the shoulder. The bottle is 5.16 inches tall by 2.4 inches across. The exact neck thread size is not confirmed here - measure against your existing closures before you plan on swapping caps between bottles.
Why buy just a few bottles here instead of a full case?
Because most benches do not need a case. We stock these deep and sell them singly, so you can take the two you need for one project or a dozen for a shared lab, and skip both the case minimum and the shelf space it eats. Every bottle is the same part in the photos, picked and packed by hand in Idaho. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free once your order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Nalgene bottles earn their keep in the least glamorous way possible, by sitting in a freezer for a year and coming back out still sealed. Fill this one, label it, and let it do the boring work while you get on with the experiment.
